This Week in D.C.: March 13-19

It’s a busy week–and just in time for cherry blossoms! We love this time of year in D.C., but it goes by fast. So, take advantage of the weather and explore new parts of the city!

Monday

Have you ever wanted to give back…just by eating? Well now you can, thanks to a new joint campaign between Galley Foods and World Food Program USA. To recognize the 6-year anniversary of the Syria conflict, Galley Foods will be sharing dishes inspired by traditional Syrian recipes and encouraging customers to help feed Syrian families in need. During the week of March 13-17, Galley Foods will offer two dishes cooked by Syrian refugees that provide a taste of home: chicken Kabsa and vegetarian Mujadara, both of which reflect the rich culinary history of Syria.

Enjoy the new menu at our favorite H Street hot spot–DC Harvest. We love everything from their funky cocktails to the freshly shucked oysters to the roasted chicken. Their Tuesday date night deal is not to be missed! 517 H St. N.E., Washington, D.C.

Get into the spring spirit with flowers at the Colony Club! In this workshop you’ll learn how to make a bouquet of paper flowers and enjoy an Omaha Sour cocktail. The great thing about paper flowers is that they stay as vibrant and happy as the day you made them, all season long. Never had an Omaha sour? It’s a refreshing lemon, bourbon cocktail we’re sure will put a spring in your step. If you’re into cocktails, crafting, or just want to get back in touch with your creative side, this workshop is for you! The workshop fee covers all materials and your first drink. 3118 Georgia Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C.
